blank body 6. being folded on the crease lines 8 to provide plaited or bellows-like end walls 9, and a straight or non-plaitedside wall 10, the extension 7 being inwardly folded toward the side wall 10 and pasted or otherwise secured at its longitudinal edges to the adjacent plaits of the end walls 9 to'providea cell or pocket 11 for the ramp tion of a cigar. When a cigar is inserted in the cell or pocket, the plaited or bellowslike side walls 9 will expand to accommodate such cigar.

In the folds 12 of adjacent plaits of the end walls 9 is inserted suitable adhesive substance for temporarily uniting the folds, but permitting the same to separate when a cigar is inserted in the'cell 11. Thus, it will be seen that a small cigar may be inserted in the cell and comfortably retained therein, or if desired, a larger cigar may be inserted in the cell for retention therein, as these plaits will separate from each other according to the size of the cigar inserted in the cell.

From the foregoing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is thought that the construction and purpose of the invention will be readily understood, without requiring a more extended explanatipln, and therefore, the same has been omi t te What is claimed is:

A cell of the character described, comprising a rectangular body and an elongated extension formed from a single piece of flexible material, the body being provided with longitudinally plaited portions at op- 90 posite sides of its center, adhesive substance inserted in the folds of the plaited portions, for temporarily uniting the folds, but permitting the same to separate from each other when a cigar is inserted in the cell, the extension being folded inwardly toward the body and secured at its longitudinal edges to said plaited portions of the body, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature 100 in presence of two witnesses.

EDWIN H. ELLIS.

To all wkomit may concem:

Be it known that I, Enwm H. Ennis, a citizen of the U 'ted States, residing at Cmcinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State "of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cigar Cells or Pockets, of which the following is a. specification.

The invention relates to paper cartons,

cells or pockets.

The primary object of the invention is a cell or pocket in which ci ars of-varyin sizes may be held, the ac or pocket being formed from a single blank of flexible material, preferably paer. p Another object of the invention is the provision of a'cell or pocket of this character which is simple in construction, and inexpensive in manufacture, and also one that will be reliable and efiicient in protecting a ci ar when placed the pocket of a smo or or user.

With these and other objects in view,

combination andarrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings: Figure I is a plan view of a'blank fi'om which the cell or pocket is made. Fig. 2 is a plan view of. the blank partly folde Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the cell finished and partly expanded.

4 is a sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the carton or pocket.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 5 designates a blank of flexible material, from which the carton is formed to provide a cell or pocket, in which is adapted to be confined a cigar, the blank being cut to provide a rectangular-shaped body 6 and an elongated extension 7 the latter projecting medially from one end of the body, as is clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing. This ody 6 is provided, near opposite longitudinal edges thereof,'with spaced parallel longitudinally disposed crease lines 8, the
